Do the Heff! Hector starts a craze in honour of Ireland's new golden boy

Wait till this goes viral.

HECTOR Ó hEOCHAGÁIN took to the streets this morning to start a new craze that he hopes could sweep the nation.

In honour of Rob Heffernan’s brilliant gold medal performance in the 50k walk  in Moscow yesterday, the Meath man called on listeners to his morning breakfast show on 2fm and his Twitter followers to “Do The Heff.”

People all over the country have been sending their Heffernan homage to Hector over Twitter all day.

Have you joined in the fun yet?

    As far as I turned up my volume, I still cannot hear him shouting/yelping/roaring/ra-hooing. As this clip is 6 secs long, surely he cannot have abstained for so long ;-)
